I create a user with the following set of commands. This should create user in both admin
db as well as my target db (c2d):
# mongo 127.0.0.1:27017 MongoDB shell version: 3.2.6-29-g5c19788 connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test > use admin switched to db admin > show collections system.users system.version > db.system.users.find() > db.createUser({user:"cd2", pwd:"cd2", roles:[{role:"dbOwner", db: "c2d"}]}) Successfully added user: { "user" : "cd2", "roles" : [ { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "c2d" } ] } > db.system.users.find() { "_id" : "admin.cd2", "user" : "cd2", "db" : "admin", "credentials" : { "SCRAM-SHA-1" : { "iterationCount" : 10000, "salt" : "4g6t9kC+godz7k6QQOfD+A==", "storedKey" : "m3tDZBQDU2Tlb1lIjLGyTHmr2QQ=", "serverKey" : "GSA4OXSod1s8mBuZBtfmXq2tlTo=" } }, "roles" : [ { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "c2d" } ] } > use c2d switched to db c2d > db.createUser({user:"cd2", pwd:"cd2", roles:[{role:"dbOwner", db: "c2d"}]}) Successfully added user: { "user" : "cd2", "roles" : [ { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "c2d" } ] } > use admin switched to db admin > db.system.users.find() { "_id" : "admin.cd2", "user" : "cd2", "db" : "admin", "credentials" : { "SCRAM-SHA-1" : { "iterationCount" : 10000, "salt" : "4g6t9kC+godz7k6QQOfD+A==", "storedKey" : "m3tDZBQDU2Tlb1lIjLGyTHmr2QQ=", "serverKey" : "GSA4OXSod1s8mBuZBtfmXq2tlTo=" } }, "roles" : [ { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "c2d" } ] } { "_id" : "c2d.cd2", "user" : "cd2", "db" : "c2d", "credentials" : { "SCRAM-SHA-1" : { "iterationCount" : 10000, "salt" : "vnMjnjfykVQS8ujQXeWaYw==", "storedKey" : "OYXivkmIwuTavlwTGfjrspT6j2E=", "serverKey" : "lw8xqzAaW8V4IQ9wOmQrG2VSp88=" } }, "roles" : [ { "role" : "dbOwner", "db" : "c2d" } ] }
If I try to login, I'm welcomed with an error message:
# mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/c2d -u c2d -p c2d MongoDB shell version: 3.2.6-29-g5c19788 connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/c2d 2016-05-22T10:35:41.862+0100 E QUERY [thread1] Error: Authentication failed. : DB.prototype._authOrThrow@src/mongo/shell/db.js:1441:20 @(auth):6:1 @(auth):1:2 exception: login failed
Then I enable security features in the conf file and restart the server:
security: authorization: enabled
Error is still the same:
# mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/c2d -u c2d -p c2d MongoDB shell version: 3.2.6-29-g5c19788 connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/c2d 2016-05-22T10:37:43.713+0100 E QUERY [thread1] Error: Authentication failed. : DB.prototype._authOrThrow@src/mongo/shell/db.js:1441:20 @(auth):6:1 @(auth):1:2 exception: login failed
